When the weather outside was frightful, the inside of any classroom on campus seemed delightful, as students sought sanctuary from the cold chill of a Michigan winter in any enclave they could find. As October turned into November and November turned into December, the biting winds of impending winter caused students to bundle up with mittens and gloves, hats and earmuffs, scarves and turtlenecks, and layer upon layer of winter clothing. While the tempera- ture fluctuations of fall forced students to predict the weather daily to choose a tee- shirt or a sweater, the start of winter brought a daily prac- tice of piling on as many clothes as possible just to be able to comfortably walk across campus. Another hassle of winter came with mud, sleet, and snow being trampled into ev- ery building on campus, bring- ing squeaking shoes and dirty bookbags.
